2024 USATF Illinois All-Comers Indoors Throws Championships: 14Jan'24

Bad weather led to the high school youth meet at the LAB getting cancelled but fortunately the masters meet @ Lewis University in Illinois on Sunday was still on. After a particularly good practice with the weight on Wednesday, I really wanted to get into a meet to put a new mark in the books so I decided to brave the roads. There were times during the drive when I questioned my decision (driving by brail between the rumble strips with minimal visibility for about 50 miles) but fortunately made it safely.

I had a good day with the weight with all 6 throws over 13m. I broke my old PR in round 2 and then moved that mark out to 13.94m (45’ 8.75”) in round 3. I ended up with 3 of 6 throws over my old PR. Shot was a mess (couldn’t find the center of the ball). My best came off only one finger. I’ll get back to work and figure it out.

Coach Toby     – 13.94m (45’ 8.75”) – 2nd Place 55-59yr weight – PR

                       – 11.88m (38’ 11.5”) – 1st Place 55-59yr shot put
